NetInstall hangs - spinning forever

10.4.7 server, created disk image using System Image Utility, imaging ibook G4 10.3.9. Following directions in System Image Utility Help, on creating a new install set. Creating image took a long time, left overnight, in the morning it said the image was created successfully. enabled the image in Server Admin, NetBoot pane, set image as startup disk for another laptop (I have 16 to go) and restarted. ibook starts, blue globe, grey screen with spinning wheel, turns to blueish screen with spinning wheel, sits and spins for hours. I left this going overnight as well, no such luck. Still spinning in the morning. I have tried restarting, same thing. what am I doing wrong?

Adobe Extension Manager CC spins forever (shows the clock)

My Adobe Extension Manager CC spins forever and doesn't load properly with a continuous clock.
After a while I have to manually force quit the app in order to close it.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall it and it still hanging.
Please advise as this is a known issue for the past year or two and it seems you guys haven't pushed a fix.
I am running on a Mac, thanks.

Please try to run EM as administrator firstly.
1. Run "/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app".
2. Input the following command then press "Return" key. Don't miss the double quotation marks.
   sudo "/Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CC/Adobe Extension Manager CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Extension Manager CC"
3. Input password of administrative user then press "Return" key.
If it works, you can try to run EM in normal way.
If it doesn't work, please run "/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app", select your hard drive then repair disk permissions.
If it still doesn't work, please generate log files and send it to [email protected]
1. In Terminal window, run the following commands in turn:
   cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Extension\ Manager\ CC/
   mkdir Log
   cd Log
   touch ExManCoreLibLog.YES
2. Open Finder, hold down "option" key, click menu "Go"->"Library" to go into hidden Library folder, then go to its subfolder "Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log", check whether file ExManCoreLibLog.YES exists.
3. Launch EM.
4. After EM hangs, force quit it, send all the files in the Log folder above to us.

IPhoto 09 Faces wheel spins forever and/or won't quit

Hope someone has insight or it helps others...
For the last several days any import into iPhoto will set it into spinning the Faces album waiting wheel forever. There is no way to Quit. Other times just simple quitting won't work.
Activity shows 40-50% iPhoto CPU usage, lots of context switches (270,000 in 5 minutes of CPU time) but no hangs, no faults. I have previously let it run overnight, in case it was somehow reanalyzing 18000 images, but even then the problem remains.
Console shows: 10/12/09 3:55:58 PM iPhoto[653] * -[NSPathStore2 getCharacters:range:]: index (8) beyond bounds (3)
as most recent item from iPhoto in the log.
Looking inside the iPhoto Library folder the face.db database, iPhotoMain.db etc. have no activity going on. ( I tested by changing the face info on one picture, the Finder last modified date immediately changed, showing the processes are running fine, but just some runaway process won't quit.)
Another console item showed iPhoto finding wrong architectured PGP plugin in contextual menu items, so I have trashed that. And, it finds a Chronos Notes related issue (contextual menu item in library and same named alias in user/library) throw an exception. I also informed ChronosNet.com of this....in case the recent iPhoto acting up is related to the SOHO update that was recently installed.
"I've had iPhoto start acting up (fails to quit) since SOHO NOTES latest update... checking the Console shows a possible problem....
You have a contextual menu entry (alias) in user/library and same name (original item) in library. That makes apps like iPhoto throw exceptions...
10/12/09 4:29:33 PM [0x0-0x40040].com.apple.iPhoto[653] objc[653]: Class SBContextualMenuHelper is implemented in both /Users/imran/Library/Contextual Menu Items/ChronosNotesCM.plugin/Contents/MacOS/ChronosNotesCM and /Library/Contextual Menu Items/ChronosNotesCM.plugin/Contents/MacOS/ChronosNotesCM. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined."
Let's see what they state.
Now.... Force quitting now to see what it shows in the logs:
It did not show any quick console messages. I'm surprised an OS X "report this crash to Apple" window did not open up.
Now relaunched... will see if it happens again...

iPhone is not "hung" in the traditional sense in that you can do several things within it while it's non-stop Faces spinning wheel displays. I do NOT find it responsive and it does NOT Quit when Faces is spinning forever. tgardner, your experience appears to be different.
Checking in Activity Monitor shows that interestingly there are no hangs or errors. But, looking into contents of iPhoto library shows NO files are modified even after 24 hours or running. In other words, maybe it's not dead, but it is comatose.
Also, checking in Console I always see a variable out of bounds error when this happens.
I have 19000 images and of those maybe 5000 have faces, of about 50 people. ALL of those images are already processed with Names info. Even if Faces needs to update some data, 24 hours of nothing but iPhoto running ought to be enough but it is not.
Others may want to check Console and Activity Monitor and add their experiences here.

Safari PowerBook G4 hangs spinning pinwheel

Hi all,
I seem to get this same result consistently at the same web site.
Safari hangs spinning pinwheel forever,
Activity Monitor shows Safari "not responding."
Cannot Force Quit. Only way out is a hard reset.
Very simple install on this PG G4 mostly for web surfing.
Machine is acting well for all other uses.
Any suggestions?
I'm stumped on this.
So long for now, TOM

Hi Carolyn and any other interested listers,
Well it's been interesting trying to fix these issues. Many experiences of the past week are pointing to hardware issues.
I tried to back up my HD expecting the worst, but couldn't get through the process of Restoring (cloning) it to my external FW Disk using Disk Utility ( a task I've done forever without isses).
So I got out the original PBG4 Hardware test and it failed during the "Memory Test." Next I removed the 1 GB RAM chip from the computer and re-ran the Hardware test twice with AOK results, so I am assuming the soldered on RAM is not the issue.
I was able to run the computer from a Disk Warrior CD, and thought it might boot without anything but the onboard RAM, but no go. It kernal panics without any additional RAM installed. Doesn't the Mac need at least 512 MB of RAM and that would explain it, or should it be booting. (Mac OS Leopard X.5.8 installed).
I guess I should get a replacement 1 GB Chip.
Could it be bad contacts. How does one clean the contacts on a RAM Chip.
Thanks in advance, and so long for now, TOM

How do I get iCloud Backup Options to display the list of apps on my iPad? It just spins forever.

I'm trying to set up iCloud backups for my iPad. I go into Manage Storage, selet my iPad from my list of iCloud enabled devices and then I get the Backup Info screen. Its supposed to list all of my applications so I can turn on/off backups on an app by app basis. Unfortunately it just spins forever and the Backup Options list never populates.
This works fine in my iPhone 4s, but not on my iPad.
I don't want to run a backup without doing this since I have a lot of data in a couple of apps and I don't want those backed up.
Is this an iOS bug on the iPad?

Eventually the Settings app just crashes while waiting for the Backup Options list to populate.
When I try an actual backup of my iPad to iCloud it spins for a while and then crashes.
I only want to backup up a handful of my apps to iCloud but right now I can't even get it to show me the list of apps to turn on/off.

I cannot open my iphoto application. The minute I double click on the icon I get the rainbow which spins forever. I've used Applejack to repair the hd, but even that didn't work. I've getting into iphoto preferences..can't. Help!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

ITunes 11.2.2 problem: iphone photos spinning forever

It used to be when I plug my iPhone into my MBP, I can go to iTunes, click iPhone, click photos and it will list my albums and allowed me to choose which one to synch.
Not any more. Everything else works: Apps, Music, Video etc all show list for choices. Except photo. A spinning wheel just keep on spinning as if it was looking for my iPhoto albums. It spins forever without stopping.
I open up iPhoto and everything is running 100%. I return to iTunes and it has no idea that iPhoto is there up and running.
I am running iTunes 11.2.2.(3) and OS-X 10.9.3
My system had always worked until lately. My MBP automatically updates so I have no idea when the last update it performed and what did it do.
What did I do wrong? What is iTunes doing wrong? Is there a fix? Is Apple aware of the problem? Is it me only? Is there somebody out there with the same problem?
My iPhoto library is in an external 8TB LaCie drive. It had always been and never had problems before. What changed lately?
How do I report this to Apple?
Thank you all in advance. Please help. I need to load new photos from my MBP to my iPhone. I can no longer do that. And by the way, the same problem is with the iPad as well. Something defeated the entire purpose of buying the Apple system. This is very bad news. Please help.
Eddie

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Delete the iPod Photo Cache. Quit and relaunch iTunes.
2. Check the names of all albums and slideshows in iPhoto. The names should contain only plain letters and digits, not any punctuation marks or other characters. Rename them if necessary.
3. Remove the soundtrack from any iPhoto slideshows that have one. If sync now works, you may be able to restore the soundtracks.
4. Repair or rebuild the iPhoto library. Be sure to back it up first.

From iMovie I select share iDVD, and then mouse spins forever in iDVD

from iMovie I select share iDVD, and then mouse spins forever......
Note: this only occurs for one of my movies, because the other iMovie projects open iDVD ok. I have also tried an archived copy of this movie and the same problem occurs. I notice in the backgound that iMovie is access iDVD for a long time (2-3 minutes), and then I can access iMovie again. However iDVD spins the mouse forever until I Option-Apple-Escape and end iDVD.
I am running:
iMovie Ver.# 6.03(267.2) and
iDVD Ver.# 6.04(797)
1) Is the problem iMovie or iDVD or the specific iMovie file which could be corrupted? Should I try and export this corrupted iMovie file into another file name?
2) Can I reset the preferences for iMovie and iDVD? And how do I do that?
3) Can I re-install iMovie and/or iDVD, and do I use my original DVD?

Hi
a. I don't ever use the Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie.
I do.
• close iMovie
• open iDVD
• Import or just drop the movie into iDVD
b. Clearing iDVD
• Delete iDVD pref file
• Start iDVD
• Start a new project
Else read.
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
Yours Bengt W

POP email account spins forever, never retrieves mail - how to cure?

I've made no changes to my OS Lion mail settings, but suddenly (yesterday) my main POP account just spins forever and never retrieves mail nor gives an error. Also now sometimes I have to force quit the client because mail never completely quits the normal way. I've installed all the OS updates, and my iphone and ipad can retrieve the mail from that account with the same settings just fine.
Help?

This has just started for me in exactly the same way after I updated my wifes comp to 10.7.5. The iphones and ipads all send and retrieve mail with the same settings with no problems at all.
Did you finally solve this problem?

HANG과 SPIN의 구분

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2002-04-19
HANG과 SPIN의 구분
======================
Explanation
1. 용어 정의
hanging : 아무런 작업도 일어나지 않는 상태
spinning: 상당한 양의 시스템 자원을 사용하면서도 아무런 의미가 없는,
특정한 작업이 loop 안에서 반복되는 상태
2. 구분 방법
hang과 spin을 구분하기 위해서 먼저 v$session_wait 을 참조해야 한다.
v$session_wait로 현재 상태에서 어떤 세션이 waiting 상태에 있는지를 조회할 수 있다.
다음은 v$session_wait을 조회하는 예이다.
SELECT sid,seq#,event,p1,p2,p3,wait_time
FROM v$session_wait;
위 SQL 문장은 최소한 3번 이상 실행 한 후 결과를 비교해 보아야 한다.
컬럼의 의미
sid 세션의 System IDentifier
seq# Sequence number. 이 값은 특정 세션에서 새로운 wait 이벤트가 발생할 때
마다 증가된다. 이 값을 서로 다른 시점에서 비교해 보면 세션에서 작업이
진행중인지 여부를 알 수 있다.
event 세션에서 wait 하고 있거나, 이전에 마지막으로 wait 했던 operation
p1 p2 p3 이 컬럼들은 event별로 서로 다른 내용을 나타낸다.
wait_time 값이 0일 경우 세션이 특정 event를 wait 하고 있는 것을 나타낸다.
0이 아닌 값일 경우 세션이 이전에 wait 했던 마지막 event를 나타낸다.
3. 진단 방법
정상적인 상황에서는 세션에서 다른 operation을 실행 할 때 마다 v$session_wait
컬럼 값이 계속 변하게 된다.
Hang이 발생한 상황에서는, 문제가 되는 세션에서 더이상 작업이 진행되지 않고
프로세스에서 시스템 자원(메모리, CPU ...)을 사용하지 않는 상태가 된다.
일반적으로 서버에서 특정한 event를 waiting 하고 있을 경우, event가
발생하면 세션에서 추가 작업이 지속될 수 있다.
하지만 어떤 이유에서건 waiting 하고 있는 event가 발생하지 않을 경우에는
hang 상태를 유발시킬 수 있다. Hang이 발생하였다면 waiting 하고 있는 event를
찾아 내어 어떤 조치를 취해야 할 지 판단하여야 한다.
예를 들어 세션에서 disk에 write를 끝내는 event에 대해 waiting 하고 있을 경우
왜 writing이 오랜시간동안 끝나지 않는지를 밝혀내야 한다.
Spin이 발생하는 상황에서는 컬럼 값이 변하지 않을 수도 있고 계속 변할 수도
있으며, 이것은 spin이 발생하는 상황에 따라 다르다. Spin이 발생하는 상황에서는
CPU나 메모리등의 자원을 계속 사용하게 된다.
특정 세션에서 spin이 발생하는 상황에서는 code 레벨에서 어떤 부분에서 spin이 발생
하는지를 판단하는 것이 중요하다. 관련 정보를 얻기 위해서는 event 값을 참조할 수도
있지만, 일반적으로 문제가 발생된 프로세스에 대한 errorstack을 발생시켜, 지원을
받는 것이 바람직하다.
4. V$SESSION_WAIT 조회 예제
다음은 SQL*Plus에서 실행시킬 수 있는 script의 예제이다.
column sid format 990
column seq# format 99990
column wait_time heading 'WTime' format 99990
column event format a30
column p1 format 9999999990
column p2 format 9999999990
column p3 format 9990
select sid,event,seq#,p1,p2,p3,wait_time
from V$session_wait

10 Null event 344 0 300 0 0

The edit button is spinning forever in the ibooks app. How to make it stop?

The edit button is spinning forever in the ibooks app. How to make it stop spinning?

I used to have this problem on a iPad 2 with iOS7 (and iOS6). Everytime I would install a new PDF, iBooks would churn away like it was scanning it. The book wouldn't even show up for me to read until the churning stopped. Eventually the edit button would re-enable and the doc would appear.. It seemed to keep getting worse each time.
I then did a complete restore to the iPad. Now when I load a new book, it immediately is available for edit. iBooks still works fine 3 months after I did the restore.

Awsome Bar doesn't find anything but is spinning forever

I'm using FF 4.0. After starting FF, everything works as expected. But after some time, the Awsome Bar stops finding any entries in my history/bookmarks. I can't tell exactly when this exceptional behaviour starts, just after some hours of browsing. No matter what I enter into the Awsome Bar, no hit is shown, but the wheel on the left of the bar keeps spinning forever.

You've already checked for most of the things I would check for under these circumstances, so the following "troubleshooting" thoughts are pretty experimental.
Wondering here if this might be an issue with the firewall rules for your ASU. Roughly speaking, ASU checks the MSIs on your PC to get the version numbers of currently installed software, then compares that with the download server's list of version numbers at Apple. So if the firewall isn't letting ASU talk to the server, it might report that there's nothing available for download. (Normally under those circumstances, ASU would report a "The Apple Software Update Server could not be found" message, but odd things can happen with firewall settings issues.)
So check the Firewall rule for ASU in your Firewall settings. Is it allowing full access to the Internet? If not, and you do allow it full access, does ASU display updates?
If it is already allowing full access, try deleting that rule and creating a new one (that allows full access). Does ASU report anything new available for you with a new firewall rule in place?

Migration assistant on source mac never spins forever

I have one mac that's running 10.6.8 and another that's running 10.10. I am trying to use migration assistant to transfer files from the old mac to the new one. On the 10.10 machine, I can run through migration assistant, it sees the source/old mac, and it displays the 6 digit code I need to type in.
However, on the old mac, once I get to searching for other computers, it just spins forever. It never finds the new mac.
Both machines are connected to the LAN via wired connections. Both can definitely see each other normally. I tried turning off the firewalls on both macs and it didn't help. I also tried a direct ethernet connection between the two machines and that didn't help either.
Is it even possible to migrate from 10.6.8 to 10.10?
My next step will be to carbon copy clone the old mac's disk and try to do a startup disk migration to the new mac.
Any other hints would be greatly appreciated!

Pointing migration assistant at a cloned boot disk of the 10.6 machine does work.
